SROM Mini-Debugger Command Set
3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the Alpha Microprocessors SROM Mini-Debugger command
set.
3.2 Command and User Interface Features
The following list describes some of the features of the mini-debugger command
language:
• Uppercase or lowercase characters can be used interchangeably.
• Only the first two characters of a command line are significant; the rest are
ignored.
• Numbers are input and output in hexadecimal format.
• Commands can be aborted at any time by pressing <Ctrl/C> (except for the xm
command).
• For commands that prompt for input, pressing Return on an empty line defaults
to a value of 0.
• In qw data mode, addresses are aligned to a quadword boundary (the three least
significant bits of the addresses are zero). In all other modes, addresses are
aligned to a longword boundary (the two least significant bits of the addresses
are zero).
• In qw data mode, all reads and stores are performed using ldq/p and stq/p
instructions, respectively. In all other modes, reads and stores use ldl/p and stl/p
instructions, respectively.
